On why NASDAQ is considering this hostile takeover of the NYSE:
“Sources tell FOX Business Network NASDAQ Chief Bob Greifeld feels incredible shareholder pressure to do something including to explore this hostile bid for the New York Stock Exchange as it announces a merger with the Deutchse Boerse. Greifeld is coming to grips with NASDAQ’s competitive disadvantage following this merger. NASDAQ is still talking to the Intercontinental Exchange about doing a joint bid for the New York Stock Exchange but they are once again talking to the CME. They are also looking at merging with any of those as a prelude to doing a joint bid for the New York Stock Exchange.”
